NK: a dried out motor may or may not work again. If water saturates the motor winding insulation, shorting turns, it won't. If its lubricants are washed out, there's another issue. I have, however, used relays after a stock of them were under water for days. A TV set was submerged for two days and except for replacing its power transformer (shorted turns) I restored it to operation. It depends. Regards, Locknut
